    V. Lectures:

    WHAT IS INFORMATION SYSTEM?

    A system is a set of two or more interrelated components that interact to achieve a


    goal.Most systems are composed of smaller subsystems that support the larger system. For
    example, a college of business is a system composed of various departments, each of which
    is a subsystem. Moreover, the college itself is a subsystem of the university.
    Data - Facts that are collected, recorded, stored, and processed by a system.

    Information - Data that have been organized and processed to provide meaning and
    improve decision-making.

    Information Technology (IT)- The computers and other electronic devices used to store,
    retrieve, transmit and manipulate data.

    Information Overload
    Exceeding the amount of information a human mind can absorb and process,
    resulting in a decline in decision-making quality and an increase in the cost of providing
    information.

    Value of Information - The benefit provided by information less the cost of producing.

    INFORMATION SYSTEM (IS)


    A set of inter related components that collect, manipulate, store, and disseminate data and
    information and provide a feedback mechanism to meet an objective.

    Components of an Information System


    Feedback is critical to the successful operation of a system.

    Input
    In information systems, input is the activity of gathering and capturing raw data. In
    producing paychecks, for example, the number of hours every employee works must be collected
    before paychecks can be calculated or printed. In a university grading system, instructors must
    submit student grades before a summary of grades can be compiled and sent to students.
    Processing
    In information systems, processing means converting or transforming data into a useful
    outputs. Processing can involve making calculations, comparing data and taking alternative
    actions, and storing data for future use.

    Output
    In information systems, output involves producing a useful information, usually in the form
    of documents and reports.

    Feedback

    In information systems, feedback is an information from the system that is used to make
    changes to input or processing activities. For example, errors or problems might make it necessary
    to correct input data or change a process.
    In addition to feedback, a computer system can predict future events to avoid problems.
    This concept, often called forecasting, can be used to estimate future sales and order more
    inventory before a shortage occurs. Forecasting is also used to predict the strength and landfall
    sites of hurricanes, future stock market values, and the winner of a political election.(Stair and
    Reynolds, 2016)

    ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

    It has often been said that accounting is the language of business. If that is the case, then
    an accounting information system (AIS) is the intelligence—the information-providing
    vehicle—of that language. AIS is a system that collects, records, stores, and processes data to
    produce information for decision makers.

    Source: Accounting Information Systems. ThirteenthEdition .

    Accounting Information System - A system that collects, records, stores, and processes data to
    produce information for decision makers. It includes people,procedures and instructions,data,
    software, information technology infrastructure, and internal controls and security measures.

    There are six components of an AIS:


    1. The people who use the system
    2. The procedures and instructions used to collect, process, and store data
    3. The data about the organization and its business activities
    4. The software used to process the data
    5. The information technology infrastructure, including the computers, peripheral devices,
    and network communications devices used in the AIS
    6. The internal controls and security measures that safeguard AIS data

    These six components enable an AIS to fulfill three important business functions:
    1. Collect and store data about organizational activities, resources, and personnel.
    Organizations have a number of business processes, such as making a sale or purchasing
    raw materials, which are repeated frequently.
    2. Transform data into information so management can plan, execute, control, and evaluate
    activities, resources, and personnel. Decision making is discussed in detail later in this
    chapter.
    3. Provide adequate controls to safeguard the organization’s assets and data.

    How an AIS Can Add Value to an Organization


    A well-designed AIS can add value to an organization by:
    1. Improving efficiency
    2. Sharing knowledge
    3. Improving the internal control structure
    4. Improving the decision making
